I’ve
found that when writing a novel, it helps if I plan what I’m going to focus on
the following day. It might be to work on a particular scene or chapter.
Alternatively, it could be a piece of troubling dialogue or adding a red
herring or twist to the story. Whatever I choose I know that when I sit down at
my keyboard the next morning, I have a specific purpose in mind.

What
happens if I don’t do this? I find my mind is bombarded by choice and I start
to procrastinate. This leads to avoiding the issue and finding other things to occupy
myself such as sending an email, spending time on social media, going for a
walk etc., and before I know where I am, the day is over. So, plan ahead and
shove procrastination out the door!
